Dear Conference,
 
The e-conference is timely and essential considering the huge socio-economic impact of PPR. Goat and sheep populations in most developing economies are essentially under extensive/ nomadic system of management/ rearing a practice that continues to make vaccination  and monitoring difficult if not impossible.  There is the added problem of expanding host range of PPR virus especially camels and wild ruminants. What about differentiating infected from vaccinated animals? Do we have the diagnostic facilities on ground? Definitely the proposed eradication programme is ambitious and should not be executed on the rinderpest eradication platform.

Dear Dr Baba,  
 
I am sorry that you have only been able to join the e-conference today. The points that you raise are all valid and I expect other participants may send in their replies and comments.  However, you may also want to access the first two weeks of the conference to see the topics that have been covered and the discussion they raised (session 1: Opportunities and weaknesses regarding PPR control strategies.  This topic addressed issuessuch as tools and constraints for PPRcontrol, ways to overcome themand lessonslearnt, description of first hand experiencesin PPR research and control programme management). 
 
This week we are concentrating on session two of the conference: Identification and prioritizationof themes to be addressed byPPR-GREN.  We look forward to your contributions to this and other sessions.
 
Kind regards, 
Paul Rossiter, Moderator.
